Maybe Cody could keep a Flobster as a pet and it could be like the show's wacky animal sidekick. They could do plush Flobster dolls. In the show he could have his own mini adventures. Build his own little Flobsterbot to take into battle. Soon he would get first billing, like "Slimer and the real Ghostbusters" but y'know with more Flobster.

He could get his own fandom of obssessed flying lobster fanboys: Flobbies.

Ever wonder about the speed of Turbofoxes?Or the proverbial ailerons of Titanium Moosebots?

Stuff I noticed from watching it on the Hub site:I presume the statue of the fellow in pilgrim dress which Doc Greene clings to during his ride is the fellow Griffin Rock is named after, or at least the town founder. (I am going to call him Peter Griffin until they give him a name.)Doc Greene's float has a hologram of a gentleman with mutton-chops. I'm not sure who that is. Is he a real historical figure? I'm assuming a physicist.Shortly after the flobsters overrun the fair, Cody randomly chases a robot dog across the screen. Sparkplug (RB)? (I believe the storybook version of Sparkplug is organic.)Mayor Luskey is not fooling anyone with that hairpiece.

Given what we're seeing, I'm starting to piece together a history for the city.

My guess is that Griffin Rock was settled by some of the earliest European settlers to North America; the area offered a large quantity of timber and fresh seafood (hence the "lobster" part of the festival), and given the geological activity beneath the island the soil was probably good for farming. In time, a series of bridges was officially built along the mountains on one side of the island, thereby linking it to the mainland.

Some time during the early 1900s, Griffin Rock appears to have been made the headquarters for either a college with a strong research arm or a rather well-funded laboratory. This, coupled with the volcanic nature of the island, was likely why Mount Magma was relocated there in 1939.

In time, the R&D industry began outstripping the commercial fishing and commercial logging industries as Griffin Rock's main source of income; we know that some sort of logging industry existed because of the story behind Blades' hoist mechanism. Past a certain point, the island likely became so strongly associated with R&D that the government started moving in behind-the-scenes; the island had a sufficiently educated population to make it worthwhile as a giant research center in order to produce new weapons and equipment for the Cold War (hence the bunker - it was a military command center from which to oversee everything), but its status as an island meant that in a worst-case scenario the damage could largely be contained. By the time the series takes place, the government has such a choke-hold on the real workings of the island that they were able to convince the Burns family to take the Rescue Bots on as partners; Chief Burns is probably their main point of contact, and may well be ex-military himself.

"At my last intern briefing, Craig was clearly tired. His message had changed to, "Stay out of trouble, period." It seemed that, as director of security, Livingstone was growing old fast. If he didn't watch out, he'd become one of us - a 'Mormon' or a 'straight,' which is what Clinton staffers called FBI agents, the Secret Service, and former Bush employees."
